I think instead of staying away from UFA's they might as well sign a couple to high salary, short term (1 or 2 year) deals that can then be dealt at the deadline. If they want to compete and spend to the cap go for it, but that way we can get prospects/picks back and still have a few elite players hanging around.
Just like what Dallas did with Roy/Jagr this year, and the type of deals Semin has signed in the past. Sign guys like Ribero, Filpulla, and other UFA's then deal them out at the deadline. Easy way to acquire prospects we'll need 3-4 years from now.
